'74 2002 Amazon Green

I bought it a few months after I turned 16 for $700

drove the crap out of it for a year, got it repainted, rebuilt the suspension, and then crashed it. :(

1988 BMW 325, AlpineWieB on grey cloth. The PO had alread put a 4.10 LSD in it, I ghetto-stripped it and threw and b25i head on it. Little bugger had 211k miles on it and you pull to 6900 rpm like a champ and chirp third gear.

Flipped it end-over-end three times! :(

92 VW Golf GL
The first car I ever bought... $900 and put way more money into it than it was worth... but had a good time doing it =)

Oooh I like it :) I had a 16v Montana Green GTI for years. Are those Citylights in the lenses?

Heres a pic of our 83 bunny :) Still one of my faves.

1960 beetle ragtop, had '67 engine/gearbox, konis, reset torsion bars, camber compensator, and custom made 13x5.5 wheels, with racing tires. It was a fast time of day car at Long Island autocrosses in the late 1960s. I designed and built a twin carb intake for it, worked very well.
